When we talk about
the
"Snow" Bengal Cat
we are referring to
3
GENETIC VARIATIONS
SEAL LYNX POINT
have
BLUE EYES
 SLP's have the lightest
background color of the snows with patterns that range
from brownish grey to tan or buff.
Their
lovely blue eyes make them quite
outstanding.
Most SLP's are born pure white,
although sometimes there is a shading of
color.
Genetically, the Seal Lynx is
"cs,cs" which means that it has two copies of the
Siamese albino gene.
The Seal Lynx point emerged
as a natural result of early Bengal breeding, when many
cats were used to create the filial generation, and the
recessive Siamese gene
remained.
